Interesting! I want to start infusing liquors with different flavors, Might have to start with this one! I wonder how Spruce would taste? Also want to use Chipotle Peppers as an infusion ingredient, I was thinking of 7 oz of Chipotle in adobo sauce and a whole bottle of Triple Sec or other orange liqueur for 24 hours…

I wanted to let your viewers know that when doing infusions, always check to make sure the additives are not hazardous to your health. In addition, check the infusion every 24 hours to make sure it is not too intense.
